A Russian oligarch has forked out $10million on his daughter’s lavish wedding, spending $500,000 on flowers and flying in Grammy award winning artist Lady Gaga for a special performance, Daily Mail reports.

Energy tycoon Eldar Osmanov spared no expense when his daughter Lolita, who is believed to be 22, got hitched to Gaspar Avdolyan, who is also from one of Russia’s wealthiest families.

The fairy tale nuptials, which took place at Hollywood’s iconic Dolby Theatre, reportedly included classical violinists, thousands of candles and flowers believed to be worth about $500,000 including white rose floral arches.

Lolita, an international relations graduate, wore an extravagant off-the-shoulder gown embroidered with beading and jewels, believed to be designed by Lebanese designer Zuhair Murad.

She later changed into another white 1940s inspired dress with a sparkling headband to cut the cake, which was a 10-tier masterpiece that towered over the couple as they posed for photos.

The extravagant event was reportedly attended by some of Russia’s most famous, including Russian celebrities Svetlana Loboda, Nikolai Baskov and Stas Mikhailov.

Before the wedding, Lolita had reportedly taken a group of her closest girlfriends to Vegas in a private plane to celebrate her hens party, where they were entertained by Jason Derulo, a live symphony and ballet dancers.

Lolita, who is the eldest child, recently graduated from the Institute of International Relations in Moscow. She has more than 18,000 followers on Instagram, where she often flouts her luxurious lifestyle.

Her now-husband Gaspar is the son of Russian-Armenian telecommunications businessman Albert Avdolyan, previously named as one of the wealthiest businessmen in Russia and is reportedly worth $750 million USD.
